Judge Nyako stated that the only option available to Kanu was to take the matter to the appellate court. She ordered the DSS to grant Kanu access to his lawyers, not exceeding five people on visiting days, and to ensure he has a “clean place” for consultations at the DSS detention facility and access to a doctor of his choice. Nyako warned Kanu’s legal team against filing similar applications, labeling it a gross abuse of the judicial process.
Kanu reacted strongly, accusing the federal government of violating the constitution and international treaties following his forceful rendition to Nigeria. “My lord, you said in your earlier ruling that you will not grant me bail until you make a determination about the reason for my disappearance. But you have not done so,” Kanu said, expressing his frustration.
